Why Do You Need Network Visibility?

The promise of every high-tech Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company is that the service itself is more reliable than an on-premise system. Stability and scalabilty are paramount. As you expand your service offerings and grow your network, a pervasive visibility platform helps you decrease risk and complexity.

The network is the business.

In your line of work, there's no time for downtime. Your network drives every aspect of the business, especially client service delivery. If you're like most SaaS providers, you rely on cloud computing and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) vendors to host components of your product. So any network performance issues—such as crawling response times or outages – have to be identified and addressed immediately. Identifying network malfunctions, such as a faulty data center switchover following a natural disaster, are just as crucial to spot and correct, so that a failover can happen at a backup location.

You also promise clients to handle all system security, which is no small feat. Advanced threat identification and protection is tricky on a perimeterless network, where a lot of customer data is traveling on the cloud network. Your cloud computing provider promises you a level of security, yes, but you're ultimately responsible to your end customers. Your brand and your customers' brands are at stake. A pervasive visibility platform enables SaaS organizations to gain granular views and insights into your entire extended infrastructure, helping you become more agile, secure and cost-effective.
